Which scoring rule maximizes condorcet efficiency under IAC?
Consider an election in which each of the n voters casts a vote consisting of a strict preference ranking of the three candidates A, B, and C. In the limit as n [arrow right] infinity, which scoring rule maximizes, under the assumption of Impartial Anonymous Culture (uniform probability distribution...

Zusammenfassung: | Consider an election in which each of the n voters casts a vote consisting of a strict preference ranking of the three candidates A, B, and C. In the limit as n [arrow right] infinity, which scoring rule maximizes, under the assumption of Impartial Anonymous Culture (uniform probability distribution over profiles), the probability that the Condorcet candidate wins the election, given that a Condorcet candidate exists? We produce an analytic solution, which is not the Borda Count. Our result agrees with recent numerical results from two independent studies, and contradicts a published result of Van Newenhizen ( Economic Theory 2, 69-83. (1992)). [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] |
